1981 xj 550 seca...$6500!!! only needs carbs!! 1981XJ550 Seca

I have had very good luck with having a local bicycle shop true up my spoked rims. They have all the tools and did it very fast and very cheaply. I believe you will need to have the tire off though.

The big 4 Japanese manufacturers all released at least one factory turbo bike. Name 1 turbo bike from each of the companies and the year for each.

Did somebody forget to put the side cover on under the seat? It looks unfinished?

I don't understand making a promotional video of a motorcycle without actually letting you see the motorcycle.

It is a Nitrous bottle. I don't think I have any room for fire suppression.

Finally getting around to wiring and figuring out the bodywork on the lifelong project...

Collectors Virago - $6000

2007GS500 - 10 years old, blown motor, no ownership, "minor" scratch on tank (it must be under the major scratch on the frame and tank). Essentially a parts bike for only $1375 FIRM...

Does anybody really think that having the plate mounted on the swingarm or vertically actually "looks cool"? I just don't understand why you would want to draw visual attention to a very ugly part of your bike.

How about $2250 for a bent frame with cracks! https://www.kijiji.ca/v-motorcycle-parts-accessories/windsor-area-on/kawasaki-zx10r-04-05-frame-with-clean-title/381419549?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true

Water is definitely something to think about and you both make an excellent point. Having thought about it more, I will be moving the plates to the inside of the frame rails. I was only planning to fill in the sides of the frame and not the bottom so air can continue to flow through the frame...

Thank you for the cooling information Matt, most appreciated! It has lead to the decision to at least start with the stock cooler when I finally get it running. I'll monitor it and if need be, I'll get a bigger cooler. So it's been a while since I've updated this. But that doesn't mean work...

Thanks for the information Matt. Would you mind letting me know how much cooler it runs with the oil cooler. Knowing that would help me decide what cooler to run. Why did you need to replace your engine?? Thanks, Chris

I agree, and will address the frame issue after the exhaust, intake and a few other pieces are sorted out. In the absolute worst case scenario where I have to leave it as is, I will just call it "tuned chassis flex".

The FJ motor (as you know) is air-cooled and has a smallish oil cooler. I will probably look into a larger oil-cooler but that would be the only change I can make. The Seca Turbo, from which I sourced the turbo, was also air-cooled with a small oil cooler and had a full fairing. The turbo...

My apologies for the length of time between updates. I spent the majority of August in England watching the British Superbike and MotoGP races. Very cool. It was a bonus that Ducati won that round :) Here is what I've been working on since then. Please let me know if this is too many...
